A bust-length portrait of Augustus Keppel (1725–1786) facing to left in captain’s undress uniform, 1748–1767, with a black neck tie. The portrait is set in a fictive oval frame above a cartouche containing a representation of a naval engagement. To the left of the cartouche is a laurel branch and to the right the fluke of an anchor and two rounds of shot. Lettered above the image: ‘Engraved for the Universal Magazine’. Also lettered below the image with the title and publication line: ‘The Honble. Augustus Keppel. Printed for J. Hinton at the King’s Arms, Newgate Street.’ This print was published in ‘The Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure’, volume 28, May 1761, opposite page 271. It accompanied an article entitled ‘Some Account of the Honourable Keppel Family; with a finely engraved Head of the Honourable Commodore Augustus Keppel, Commander of the Expedition Fleet against Belleisle’ (pp. 271–2). The portrait is based on Joshua Reynolds’s portrait of 1752–3 (see BHC2823), which was engraved in mezzotint by Edward Fisher in 1759 (see PAI5851). (Updated April 2019.)
